Bangladesh in deep trouble, India are in complete control
After bowling out India for 376 runs, Bangladesh faced a major collapse in their batting innings, losing three quick wickets. Following the lunch break, both Najmul Hossain Shanto and Mushfiqur Rahim were dismissed, leaving the team in dire straits. Shakib and Liton managed a brief resistance, but like others, they couldn't sustain the innings. At tea, Bangladesh's score stood at 112 runs for the loss of 8 wickets, trailing by 264 runs with only 2 wickets remaining.
In the second session of the second day of the Chennai Test, Bangladesh played 27.5 overs, scoring 86 runs while losing 5 wickets. Shanto, Mushfiq, Liton, and Shakib were all dismissed, with Hasan Mahmud being the final wicket to fall in this session. Mehedi Hasan Miraz remains not out at the crease with 12 runs.
Bangladesh found themselves in a batting crisis after Hasan Mahmud's five-wicket haul and Taskin Ahmed's three wickets helped wrap up India's innings in the morning. During the remaining 9 overs of the first session, Bangladesh lost 3 wickets for just 26 runs. The captain, Najmul Hossain Shanto, and Mushfiqur Rahim, who were both not out at lunch, quickly worsened the situation post-break.
Captain Shanto was caught by Kohli at second slip off Siraj's bowling while on 20 runs. Mushfiqur Rahim didn't last long either; Jasprit Bumrah dismissed him for 8 runs in the next over, again with a catch at second slip, this time to Lokesh Rahul. By this point, Bangladesh's score had dropped to 40 runs for 5 wickets.
After the departures of Shanto and Mushfiqur, Shakib and Liton attempted to stabilize the innings. They managed to keep their wickets intact during the first hour of the second session, but soon after, their downfall came abruptly. Both Liton and Shakib fell to unnecessary shots, and Hasan Mahmud's wicket meant Bangladesh went into tea with their hopes hanging by a thread.
